A new book by the candidate of historical sciences Alexei Lobin is devoted to the study of the struggle for Smolensk during the reign of Ivan the Terrible's father, Vasily III Ivanovich. The stubborn and long war with Sigismund the Old ended with the annexation of Smolensk and the lands adjacent to it to Russia. The book covers all the military campaigns of 1512-1522, of which the most significant were the capture of Smolensk, the battle of Orsha, the defense of Opochka, campaigns against Vitebsk and Polotsk. Military aspects are studied in detail: the number of parties, weapons, tactics. Foreign policy issues did not stand aside, in particular, the formation of an anti-Jagellonian military coalition with the Empire, the Teutonic Order and Denmark. The book is based on a large number of sources from Russian and foreign archives. The book is intended for all those interested in national history.
